Abstract
A mounting assembly for securing an axle housing to the suspension system of a vehicle frame includes an upper bracket and a lower bracket which partially enclose an axle housing. The upper bracket and the lower bracket are clamped together and have engageable contacting surfaces to provide vertical and torque support for the axle housing walls. Rubber couplings are disposed between the axle housing and the brackets to prevent wearing of the metal surfaces.
